Match Time & Date:

18:45
Prediction: 1-0
Emmen
Gofferstadion will host Saturday’s football game between NEC and Emmen. The hosts are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Emmen. Morocco midfielder Oussama Tannane is banned for the match following his sending off in a goalless draw with Vitesse, with Souffian El Karouani missing out through suspension as well. Midfielder Jordy Bruijn has yet to overcome a knee problem.
Meanwhile, the visitors aim to escape the relegation zone, but given their poor away record (1-0-7) in the 2022/2023 season, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Both Jeff Hardeveld and Maikel Kieftenbeld are sidelined with injuries, while duo Metehan Guclu – Mart Lieder will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting at the venue NEC Nijmegen defeated Emmen 4-1.
Highlighted Player (Anco Jansen):
Born in Zwolle, Netherlands on March 9, 1989, Anco Jansen is a pacey winger who started his senior career in his home-town club FC Zwolle. After scoring two goals in 40 league appearances for the club, he joined Groningen in 2008, but he did not see any game action with the Green and White Army in the Eredivisie.
Anco Jansen played for the likes of Cambuur, SC Veendam, De Graafschap, Roda JC, and Boluspor as well before joining FC Emmen in 2017. Anco Jansen made his Eredivisie debut with FC Emmen in a 2-1 win over ADO Den Haag on August 12, 2018, with the winger finding the net after 42 minutes.
His main position is left winger, but he is used as both centre-forward and attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right. Anco Jansen has yet to earn a call-up with the Netherlands national football team.
